Oscar Pistorius is selling his prized pedigree horses and the luxe Pretoria pad where he fatally shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, to pay his high-priced legal team’s soaring bills.

His uncle Arnold Pistorius, speaking through an assistant, told South Africa’s Daily Voice that Pistorius needs the cash while fighting a premeditated murder charge that could land him behind bars for 25 years to life.

“Legal teams are very expensive. It has a significant financial impact,” he said.

It wasn’t clear how much the home or horses — which Pistorius owns shares of — were worth.

Arnold also denied reports that Pistorius, 27, is suicidal.

“He is in mourning and is very, very sad, but not suicidal,” he said, adding that his nephew has been seeing a shrink while free on bond.

Pistorius’ histrionics have been on full display throughout the two-and-a-half-week trial, which resumes Monday.

He has cried, retched, vomited and covered his ears and eyes with his hands to avoid testimony about the gruesome shooting.

Pistorius killed the gorgeous blond model and TV personality on Valentine’s Day 2013, shooting her in the head, thigh and arm with a powerful semi-automatic pistol loaded with deadly hollow-point ammo.

The one-time Olympic hero said he shot Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was an intruder who had managed to get into his home in a heavily guarded, gated community.

But cops and prosecutors charged that the trigger-happy Pistorius — who is also facing two separate weapons charges — killed her after a pre-dawn argument turned violent and she locked herself in the bathroom.

Nevertheless, Arnold Pistorius said the family is sticking by the accused murderer.

“The family supports Oscar each and every day since the tragic event of the 14th,” Arnold said. “The Pistorius family, as witnessed throughout the bail hearing, is very close and supportive.”

Meanwhile, Oscar’s close pal and business partner said the self-pitying Olympian is “dejected, somber and depressed” over his fate.

“Oscar is really taking this hard; he has no confidence and doesn’t make eye contact anymore. He’s carrying the world on his shoulders. He’s a broken man,” Mike Azzie told the Daily Voice.

Azzie co-owns the $3.2 million racehorse Potala Palace with Pistorius and is a trainer and owner of Mike Azzie’s Racing Stables.

“He is in the process of selling shares in two horses, but the process has been stalled because the experts we normally use to get the horses appraised are not in the country at the moment,” he said.

Azzie said Pistorius had no choice but to unload his home and share of the horses.

“What other reason could there be? He has no income. Nike and Oakley have pulled their contracts. He needs the money,” he told the paper.
